All of the top rated products contain the minerals zinc or titanium due to their ability to protect against UVA radiation, which according to the EWG and many other sources, is believed to be responsible for the skin damage that causes aging and cancer. The number one anti-aging measure that we can take is to protect our face from UVA and UVB rays!

According to the EWG: the ideal sunscreen would completely block the UV rays that cause sunburn, immune suppression and damaging free radicals. It would remain effective on the skin for several hours and not form harmful ingredients when degraded by UV light. It would smell and feel pleasant so that people use it in the right amount and frequency”. 

They continue by saying that: “there is currently no sunscreen that meets all of these criteria. The major choice in the U.S. is between “chemical” sunscreens, which have inferior stability, penetrate the skin and may disrupt the body’s hormone systems, and “mineral” sunscreens (zinc and titanium), which often contain micronized- or nano-scale particles of those minerals.” 

Marie Veronique Organics has created several sunscreens with a unique formulation as well as production process that allow for the use of “bulk” zinc oxide measuring approximately 1 micron in size. This is the same zinc oxide that is recognized by the Food and Drug Administration as a Category I skin protectant, meaning it is safe for compromised or environmentally challenged skin. Zinc oxide has over a 300-year history of safety, with no known adverse reactions (which is why it is often used to treat babies). Read more...
